Spring Cleaning Bargains at Publix

Wow, it was an amazing week at Publix! I bought everything pictured above for $20.23 out of pocket, and, no, I'm not joking! Those that know me personally know we are in the process of buying our first home. We should be closing in the next few weeks, but I'm mentally gearing up for the deep cleaning our new home will need to make it habitable. We snatched our foreclosed home up for $19k less than it's appraised value, but it's quite dirty and will require much elbow grease before I can call it home. Therefore, I was very excited to see that Publix had cleaning items on sale, and I was even more excited to see there were manufacturer and store coupons I could stack to make my purchases nearly free.

I purchased:

10 boxes of Ziploc Easy Slide storage bags
14 bottles of Windex Multi-Surface cleaner
8 bottles of Scrubbing Bubbles Antibacterial cleaner
6 bottles of Shout Laundry Stain Remover
5 bottles Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-A-Clean Power Sprayers
8 twin packs of Glade Scented Oils
7 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gels
7 Scrubbing Bubbles 2-in-1 Fresh Brush

I stacked my Publix Store Coupons ('One Stop, One Shop' and 'There's Value in the Family' coupon booklets) with manufacturer coupons to save 93% on my shopping trip.

Here's my shopping summary:

Vendor Coupons: $123.18
Store Coupons: $64.00
Special Price Savings: $67.82

TOTAL SAVINGS: $255.00

Publix is continuing their Spring Cleaning sale this week. You will still be able to use the coupons found in the 'There's Value in the Family' coupon booklet, however the 'One Stop, One Shop' coupon booklet expired yesterday.

While you're in the store, be on the lookout for the following peelies to make the bargains even better:

$2.00 off 2 Scrubbing Bubbles Cleansers (BOGO at Publix)
$1.00 off Glade Scented Oil Refills (BOGO at Publix)

My TOTAL savings isn't as spectacular as it usually is, but I purchased two big ticket items for which I didn't have significant coupons ($50 BP Gas Card and a $25 iTunes Gift Card), so I think the total is still pretty amazing.

Today's Freezer Meal: Turkey, Bean and Cheese Burritos

I soaked Pinto Beans overnight, boiled them this morning and then re-fried them with ground turkey, fresh onion, fresh garlic, olives, fresh tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, fresh cilantro and jalapenos. We ate four burritos for dinner tonight, and I have 20 more bagged in my freezer for quick and easy meals. I plan on saving the last package of 8 burritos for two Fish Taco meals- one of our favorites!

Using items found in my pantry (purchased at a bargain!) I was able to make 24 TASTY and HEALTHY homemade burritos for pennies each. And trust me, they put frozen burritos to shame. YUM!
